I'm sure nobody would think of trying to pass off my work as their own or make money from my pastime, but if you do, I have ways of finding out, and I will take appropriate action.

A few of the photographs on this site are also owned by me, by most are stock or news photographs that I have posted or linked to under my understanding of the doctrine of fair use.
